Balanced occlusion aided locator abutment retained overdenture with no implant placed within anterior region: A case report

Abstract

A maxillary edentulous arch with severe bone resorption was treated by locator abutment retained overdenture. Under the criterion of balanced occlusion, implants located solely in the posterior area is a good selection which could efficiently guarantee the stability and perdurability of the overdenture in 2-year follow-up.
